Replace a worn front right lower arm and ball joint in one step with the Mevotech Supreme control arm, part number CMS40186, a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. This control arm and ball joint assembly arrives as a single unit, so the arm and ball joint are replaced together.
Mevotech engineers its Supreme parts in-house, adding application-specific upgrades aimed at durability and performance. The line is built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. Its Labor Saver™ designs, tools and hardware are intended to make installation faster and easier.
The lower control arm links the steering knuckle to the vehicle's chassis. The ball joint lets the knuckle pivot as the suspension travels and the wheels are steered. Signs this assembly may need replacing include clunking over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and uneven tire wear. Inspect the suspension first to confirm the cause. If a worn Ford Explorer control arm or ball joint is behind the problem, this assembly replaces both. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
